Today we are Welcoming another round of protests against terrorist Omar Khadr with France requesting the US drop charges against Khadr, and his lawyers agree.
Granted Khadr should be tried as a child soldier. Regardless, in my opinion he should still serve a life sentence as he still shows no remorse for his actions, in which his own direct Canadian family members were killed in the middle east in a hail of gunfire by Pakistani forces against Osama Bin Laden.
Certainly the Apple does not far from the tree, Khadr has not shown remorse for his terrorist actions and his murder of a US Medic with a grenade committed years ago when a 15 year old teenager.
Canada certainly is the land of the free, a Freedom which allows Terrorists to live amongst us, while their ilk are currently killing our soldiers in the middle east.
Something is certainly rotten in the Middle East. And it began here in Canada.
Below is a CBC Link outling his entire families link to terrorist activities, a family who still are allowed to live in Canada, reader show know his family still show no remorse for even their own terrorist actions abroad.

The government of France is urging the United States to drop charges against Canadian terror suspect Omar Khadr, saying he should be treated as a minor.
Pascale Andreani, a spokeswoman for France's Foreign Ministry, told reporters in Paris Wednesday that France considers any child associated with an armed conflict a victim. Khadr, who was 15 when he was captured in Afghanistan in 2002, is being held at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Omar Khadr is shown in a 2002 file photo, at the age of 15, around the time he was captured by U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

She said France considers "all children associated with an armed conflict … should be treated accordingly."
"As a minor at the time of the events, Mr. Khadr must be given special treatment — a point on which there is a universal consensus," Andreani said.
Khadr, whose family lives in Toronto, is expected to be tried by a military tribunal later this year on charges he killed a U.S. soldier with a hand grenade.
Under a United Nations protocol, fighters under 18 years of age are defined as child soldiers.
Khadr's American military lawyer Lt.-Cmdr. Bill Kuebler said France appears more interested in the rights of a Canadian prisoner than Canada.
"I think the clear violation of international law is what is of concern to the populations of Europe," he said.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has so far refused to follow the lead of other Western countries, which successfully lobbied to have their citizens at Guantanamo returned home.
Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier has not responded to France's show of support for Khadr.
A spokesperson at the department sent CBC News a statement written months ago that said: "Questions regarding whether Canada plans to ask for the release of Mr. Khadr are premature … as the legal and appeal processes are still ongoing."
